No, it wasn't a Buick. The quickest qualifier was our very own "CopoPete", in his '69 COPO Camaro w/ZL-1 engine. I think his qualifying time was a 12.34, BUT he participated in the "Certified Stock" tear down, as did Bob Karakashian, the #2 qualifier in his '69.5 SuperBee w/440 6-pack. It's pretty cool that the top 2 qualifiers were "certified". Pete's engine only came in at 10.8:1 compression, and has a TON of room to improve...truly a package capable of 11 second ETs in Pure Stock trim. he's only had it going 2 weeks, so when he gets it dialed in, LOOK OUT!

Nice to see you stop by! I've gotta say, that the rivalry that has develop between our car and the Studes has been a lot of fun. The Stude people I met this past weekend were all VERY friendly, and showed great sportsmanship. In the back of my mind, I was hoping to get paired up with the PBW (that's "Plain Brown Wrapper" in Stude-talk), and that is how it worked out...also, from what I heard after the race, the crowd enjoyed the rivalry as well. Hope to see you guys next year!
